| Abstract | Thymol (THY), a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) compound found in thyme oil, has inhibitory effects against foodborne pathogens including Salmonella. Hydrogen peroxide (H$_{2}$O$_{2}$) is another GRAS agent to effectively inactivate Salmonella. The aim of the current study was to develop a GRAS wash solution containing THY (or H$_{2}$O$_{2}$) and other GRAS antimicrobials (organic acids and food surfactants) that would effectively reduce Salmonella enterica on grape tomatoes and minimize cross-contamination in washing water. A systematic approach including minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration tests, inhibition zone tests, and small-scale and scaled-up tomato washing tests was used to develop such wash solutions. Grape tomatoes surface-inoculated with S. enterica Typhimurium were washed with selected solutions containing combination of 0.2 mg/ml THY, 5 % sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 2 mg/ml acetic acid (AA), 800 ppm H$_{2}$O$_{2}$, combination of 200 ppm H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ with 4 % SDS, or 200 ppm chlorine for 2 min. THY 0.2 mg/ml + SDS 5 % + AA 2 mg/ml, 800 ppm H$_{2}$O$_{2}$, or 200 ppm chlorine achieved around 7.5 log reductions of Salmonella on the tomatoes as compared to the control in tests involving 10 or 100 g tomatoes. More than 5.0 log reductions in the spent washing solutions (0.2 mg/ml THY + SDS 5 % + 2 mg/ml AA; 800 ppm H$_{2}$O$_{2}$) was observed. None of these antimicrobial washes changed the color, pH, texture, sensory quality of the tomatoes during 16-day storage at 4 and 22 °C. These treatments also achieved a 1.3 log reduction of total aerobic bacteria. Thus, washing with 0.2 mg/ml THY + SDS 5 % + 2 mg/ml AA and 800 ppm H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ as alternative to chlorine-based washing could be an effective method to inactivate Salmonella on tomatoes and reduce the transmission of pathogens from tomatoes to washing solutions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
